So I have the 1.8 L engine which looks like it was injection but now has twin carbs so my understanding is that the timing for a 1.8 is 4.5 BTDC but does that need to change because of the now carburettors? And yes I'm having problems starting!

27 degrees btdc at 3500 rpm, you could bump it up to 30 but no more. HOWEVER first check the dwell and set it to 50 or the timing will mean NOTHING
